CHAPTER XXXVI.

The Countess fastened to Margaret to tell
her the glorious news.
"Oh, Margaretw exclaimed the happy
lady, as she entered Margaret's room and
sank into a chair
MY LADY, said the nurse, seeing the
changed countenance of her nursling.
: Margaret, the Lord has heard our
prayers The Earl has forgiven and loves
our boy and his sweet wife!"
THE Lord be praised! The Lord be
praised! THE horse and his rider has he
thrown in the sea- The Lord has triumphed
valiantly and III His good way The Lord
be praised! The Lord be praised! See, my
lady-we trusted in Him and He hath heard
us and brought 1t to pass cried Margaret.
with clasped hands and streaming eyes.
80. yes, Margaret-He is most good !;
here | have been complaining and He has
been working in the heart of the Earl
ever since that sweet picture entered the
castle-and has humbled his pride to the
dust" echoed the Countess, rapturously.
And then she read Sir Arthur's last letter
to this faithful friend.
'She is Lord Dudly's own child! All my
lady, thought as much, but | did not
speak it, for thought if it were so the Lord
would bring it all right in His own guide
time"
Margaret, you have seen him and his
dear wife and little ones, and you cannot
imagine how | long to behold their dear
faces -
II know, my lady. But the Lord grant
you patience and you will have your hungry
heart filled ere long, and find in my angel
Lady Nora the sweetest daughter you could
wish to have-and two dear little loves in
those two innocent grandchildren. And |
can assure you, my dear lady, that his sweet
wife has not weaned the heart of my bon
ME boy from his mother. He loves you as
dearly now as he ever did"
"What sweet words you tell me, Marga-
ret o, how sweet! My heart is filled with
peace, nmurmured the mother
AYE, my lady, the sweet peace that love
alone can bring o, my laSsie! He who
ruleth over all and is over all has crushed
the proud hearts and seen Nora of the
American Adirondacks righted at last!'
said the old Scotch nurse with pious fervor.
Great preparations were now made at the
hall and castle for the reception of Sir Ar
thur and Lady Nora.
An elegant suite of apartments was fitted
up in both places, so they could make their
homes at both, dividing the time as they
saw fit.
The news of the expected arrival spread
far and wide and mobiles and tenantry pre-
pared to make the event period of great
festivities.
Lady Nora had long been deprived of her
birthright, but the welcome and pleasure
she was to receive were fully to repay for
the privations she had endured and they
would be all the more enjoyable, as she had
not known the loss she was sustaining, and
was as happy as it was possible for her to be
in her rough, Adirondack home.
The arrival of Lord Ernst and the Count
and Countess Alsleigh brought the news of
the capture and Incarceration of Nell, the
author of Morals wrongs. and there were
double rejoicings row that fear of all further
annoyance to this gentle lady or her family
was removed.
The young Countess gave the tenantry
such glowing accounts of the sweetness and
grace of their new lady that all were in
eager expectation of her arrival and pre-
pared to do her honor.
